Welcome to Girls Soccer
at Adelaide Olympic
In 2021 Olympic launched its inaugural U9 girls team, and the girls league has grown from strength to strength. As a club, we are committed to the development of young girls who share a passion for the sport.
Our girls league runs parallel to the boys league, often with our coaches working together to get the
best results for our girls. Our success is evident with the amount of teams (and age groups)
entering this competition increasing each season.
With Australia and New Zealand winning the rights for the 2023 Women’s World Cup, there is no better time to get involved and support our local girls and women.
At Adelaide Olympic, we are looking to increase our female participation rates to 50/50 split within the next 3 years. We are driving this by introducing a structured Female Program that allows girls and women locally to develop their love for the game and skill level.
We focus closely on nurturing and developing our juniors, ranging from Under 9’s through to our Under 15’s.
Our girls junior/miniroos program at Adelaide Olympic is one of the clubs strengths. Women’s football is growing globally and we aim to be at the forefront locally.
Our coaches across all the age groups have collaborated to develop a new approach specifically tailored to the needs of girls and young women football players.
Our model is best described as:
Player
-
We welcome all players and work on developing their individual skills, however our main focus is on participation and growing individual confidence.
-
Our goal is to empower new players to feel they belong in what has until recently been a heavily male dominated arena.
Team
-
Our focus is on developing the bonds between the girls to create a welcoming environment for all.
-
The aim is to create teams that play an attractive, skillful brand of football that allows players to grow individually and together.
-
While we have achieved excellent results, our focus is not on winning games but creating a foundation for our players to reach their highest potential as they progress.
Squad
-
At Adelaide Olympic, our girls don’t train as a team but as a squad. Our players train with and alongside each other with frequent cross over between the adjacent age groups. This allows players the chance to develop at their own pace and to provide a seamless transition between groups.
-
This squad mentally increases the sense of belonging, allowing all age groups to see our strength of numbers and to see the pathways they can follow.
Girls are also welcome to play in mixed divisions within our club.
Kicking goals from U9 - U15
Under 9 Girls
Our U9 youth girls soccer program includes development of skills and an opportunity for game play on a smaller pitch, catering for beginners to experienced players in a fun and friendly environment.
Under 11 Girls
Our U11 competition sees the girls move to a bigger size pitch, bigger sized ball, larger goals and playing with nine players on the field for each team at any time.
Under 13 Girls
Our under 12 team plays the transitional 9-a side format, which allows players to be challenged technically as well as physically through multiple repeated actions in smaller areas.
Under 15 Girls
U15 is the transition phase to competitive football. At AOFC, our program covers all the bases teaching individual skills, team work and tactical understanding. This is done while maintaining our clubs values of fair play, integrity and inclusivity.
